Chapter 73 The Mid-Autumn Festival of the Great Song Dynasty is different
"I talked to my second brother last night, thinking that they should enter Beijing after the autumn exam, and Banniang felt that several brothers had the hope of passing the exam, so she was happy." Under the same roof as one of the eight famous celebrities and still in the bloodline, this kind of stinky narcissism, Banniang naturally couldn't explain it to her mother, so she flickered.
When Zhu heard this auspicious words, he was naturally very happy.
The mother and daughter said a few words, and Banniang went to the backyard.
But I saw the bamboo grate that Gorou had picked up somewhere, and he was tying something there, looking at the small appearance, he thought of a bamboo grate for touching fish in the river, and said strangely: "Fifth brother, do you want to catch fish?" What do you do with this grate? There's no river near our house to catch, right? You're going to the countryside? ”
Gorou was almost asked by his words and had internal injuries.
This has to be put aside in the 21st century, Zeng Wulang must reply, you only make bamboo grates, your whole family makes bamboo grates.
But Zeng Wulang was a five-good young man in the tenth century, although he was sad, he only rolled his eyes and sent her, and said angrily: "What bamboo grate, what am I doing with that uninteresting thing?" Isn't this the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow? I found the lanterns used in the family in the morning, but they were all worn out and could not be used, and it cost money to buy them on the street, so I thought about tying two of them myself. ”
Is this a lantern?
Ba Niangnian's crooked and twisted appearance, I really wanted to laugh three times to show my contempt.
But in the end, it's the fifth brother, and it can't dampen the baby's enthusiasm.
And make her own lanterns, she is interested in this matter.
So he stepped forward in three or two steps to squat, but was pushed aside by the attentive Xiao Shi Niang who was squatting on the side: "Eighth sister is the worst, don't stand in my way." ”
Banniang is depressed, this child! A family is very good to her, but the girl is not interested and always goes against herself?
moved to the side and made room for this girl, and then remembered Ah Lan: "Little Tenth Sister, where is Ah Lan?" Why are you all here? ”
"Sister Alan went to the well to wash clothes."
Banniang thought about it, instead of treating her as a guest and making her uncomfortable, it was better for her to do whatever she liked, so she didn't ask anymore, and then thought that this was not the Lantern Festival, what did she do with lanterns?
asked Goro: "Fifth brother, hang lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Playing with lanterns or something, isn't it time for the Lantern Festival to be fashionable? ”
Gorou glanced at Bayan in surprise, with a puzzled look in his eyes, Banniang's heart was empty, so he wanted to tease Xiao Shi to talk and wanted to take the opportunity to divert the topic.
Xiao Shi didn't let her go, and said with contempt: "The eighth sister is the stupidest, and the fifth brother said that the Mid-Autumn Festival will be used to enjoy the lanterns and the moon." The fifth brother also wants to tie a rabbit lantern for Zhen'er. ”
Banniang pulled her pair of pink and cute little ears, and scolded with a smile: "I think you are a little rabbit." ”
Wulang was also amused by Xiao Shi's frowning and pouting, and the strange idea in his heart was scattered, and said with a smile: "New Year's Day and New Year, Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, in these three festivals, every household has to hang lights, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is only hung in each house, and there is no big movement during the Lantern Festival." It's a pity that this year, the fifth brother wants to enter Beijing with the eldest brother and the second brother, or when the Lantern Festival is unknown, I will definitely take you to visit the light market, when the time comes, the city gates, as well as the city planting everyone, will add the dragon in front of the door, hang the lanterns of different shapes, that is the real fire tree and silver flower, heaven and earth celebrate together, when the time comes, I am afraid that you will look at it from afar, and you can't tell where is the lantern on the ground, where is the star in the sky. However, the Mid-Autumn Festival also has fun, and the literati poetry club is not enough, and each family will charter a restaurant to enjoy the moon. Lu Qiqi also made an appointment with me yesterday, but I thought that we have a lot of family, and it is much more interesting to enjoy the moon than to be with a group of unrelated people. I don't think the second brother will be invited. In the morning, the second brother also said, see if we can go to the restaurant today, our family will also have a private room, and then we can enjoy the moon. It's a poetry meeting of Na Lao, don't you want to see it? When our own moon-viewing feast is over, I will take you there. By the way, let's go and put the lights together tomorrow night? ”
Banniang didn't know what the lights were, but this time she didn't ask, but she could think of it, and in the 21st century, there is a must-have thing called TV, and there are often costume dramas, which can often be seen in it.
Seeing that Gorou said that he was talking, the work in his hands was non-stop, and he was also looking forward to what kind of lantern Gorou could put out, and besides, the yard at home was not too big, but it was not small, just with his two days, how many could he tie out?
smiled and said, "Fifth brother, if all the doors of our family are hung with lanterns, can you be pierced alone?" ”
"Didn't the second brother come back? The lantern of the second brother is beautiful, and the hand is fast, and the sister-in-law said that Shiro is also coming back, Ming'er has enough for a day, just for you to carry the lantern in your hand to play with, because it is small, it takes a lot of effort, and Ming'er went to the night market to buy it at night. ”
Banniang didn't bother her, so she took Shi Niang to the well to find Alan.
I wanted to help, but I was blasted back into the house by Ah Lan: "Isn't Miss Eight going to teach Miss Ten to practice calligraphy?" This little bit of clothes Ah Lan will be washed in a while, and Miss Eight will go back to the house first. ”
Banniang saw that she refused to let herself touch her hands, so she had to pull Xiao Shi into the house, and taught the "Three Character Classic" for a while. I was thinking about how to open a restaurant in the future.
From time to time, it was almost noon, Ah Lan also dried his clothes and went back to the house, Banniang checked Shi Niang's words, and saw that the writing was quite good, so he left Ah Lan to do embroidery work in the house, and he led Shi Niang to the front yard.
In the kitchen, Wu is sorting out the dishes he bought in the morning. Banniang asked, "What kind of pie filling is my sister-in-law going to prepare?" ”
"You want to eat bread?"
Don't you eat mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival?
Just now I almost showed the stuffing at Wulang, Banniang didn't want to be suspected of being suspected by my sister-in-law again, so she smiled and said: "Yes, eating cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival is not a metaphor for reunion, and it should also be the occasion." I thought we would make more fillings and taste them when the family admired the moon together. Family reunion, and eating round moon cakes, how good this metaphor is, besides, put some on the table when admiring the moon, not only can you eat, but also pay tribute to the moon in Chang'e. ”
Wu Shi listened, stretched out and nodded her forehead, and said with a smile: "I don't know where you got the ghost idea, Te Duo." And this is also reasonable, and it makes people love to listen, okay, go back and prepare some fillings for you, you tell your sister-in-law, what do you want to eat? ”
It turns out that the moon cakes that will die in the Mid-Autumn Festival in the future will not be born at this time. Why don't you be the first person to eat mooncakes?
I thought about it and regretted it, if I had known that there were no moon cakes in this era, if I had thought of making some of them, and then put a few advertisements, and blow the metaphor, the Great Song Dynasty people love auspiciousness, and like to catch up with fashion, and their ability to accept new things is particularly strong, wouldn't it be a big deal?
Fortunately, it's not too late, when the time comes, I opened a restaurant, and I played the brand of moon cakes in advance, and that large sum, although it was a year late, I couldn't run away.
Thinking about it like this, I am happy again, and take advantage of this year to take care of it, maybe my grandmother, my parents, and my brothers and sisters like it, and it will be in vain to have a Mid-Autumn Festival reunion.
Banniang asked, "Do you still have peanuts and sesame seeds at home?" ”
"Yes, when my father drank, he liked to chew a few peanuts as a snack, so he prepared a lot of them at home."
The meat is made first, and then I will get a meat filling, and after thinking about it again, I asked again: "Can there be red beans and frosted sugar?" ”
"It's all there."
Banniang nodded, since there are red beans too, there are three kinds of filling, it is better to think of another filling, and make up four, four or four wishful, and auspicious.
Thinking about the moon cakes she had eaten in her previous life, she liked the egg yolk filling, and remembered the salted duck eggs that she had pickled with Wu in July, and at that time she also asked her father to eat a lot of snacks and dishes, and asked Wu: "Sister-in-law, do you still have salted duck eggs at home?" ”
"I finished the pickled ones for the first time, and because my father liked them, I pickled two more cans, and one can."
Banniang smiled: "That's it, go back and make a peanut and sesame filling, meat filling, bean paste, and then a salted egg yolk filling, just make four things." Tomorrow the pie and pie will be ready in the morning, and it will be ready in the afternoon. ”
She thinks about it all day long, and what she makes is really delicious, and Wu is also happy to toss her, and she should be good.
Banniang helped Wu to clean up the lunch meal while thinking about things.
When the sun set in the afternoon, my father led my grandmother and others, two carriages, and returned home. Because there was no tiredness on everyone's faces, and they were smiling, they knew that the grange must be satisfactory to everyone.
Over there, Zeng Ziye beckoned to the old Uncle Huang and several younger brothers to carry all kinds of rural soil instruments brought back from the car, and the Wu family also stepped forward to carry the old lady Huang into the courtyard, and the sisters just followed to the flower hall together.
